Imaging Core Marley

Overview of Services

The Imaging Core - Marley Light Microscopy Core Facility is available to help researchers with light microscopy-based research projects. This core houses state-of-the-art laser scanning confocal microscopes and excellent technical support to advance scientific inquiry and aid in experimental design. The Imaging Core Marley also includes other ancillary equipment, as well as space and equipment to support sample preparation and sample analysis for the light microscopes.

The primary instrumentation within the Imaging Core Marley is two Zeiss 880 34 channel Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopes. One system is based on a Zeiss Observer Z1 inverted microscope, which is a laser scanning confocal microscope with seven laser lines, motorized stage, and temperature control capability. The second system is based on a Zeiss AxioImager Z1 upright microscope, which is a laser scanning confocal with six laser lines, motorized stage, Zeiss Airyscan super-resolution attachment and temperature control as well as a Spectra- Physics MaiTai femtosecond pulsed laser for multi-photon imaging.

In addition to the advanced light microscopy instrumentation the facility boasts a suite of sample preparation equipment and a Zeiss Axiozoom fluorescent stereo microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu Flash 4.0 camera.
